January 18

It was a hard week this week, and not very much happened.

One
day I felt like I needed to call our hospitalized investigator to see
if he picked up the phone and he did. He had just gotten out of the
hospital and charged his phone that morning. He had said that because
the hospital was boring he had been reading the Book of Mormon, which is
a miracle in itself because he went into the hospital because he was
going blind. He said he is about half way done with it and is praying
about it. The only bad part is that he goes into the hospital again
today( i think) to get another surgery. So he has said we can visit with
him next week hopefully.

We met with our
Pakistan investigator and he is a tough one. He has a lot of deep
questions and we are trying to teach him simply but his questions he
asks are not simple questions. Elder Bodan and I will talk about him
this more and think about dropping him, he just is not very prepared to
accept what we are saying.

This week I got
to read one of my favorite stories in the scriptures, the story of Alma
meeting Amulek and both of them going and contending against Zeezrom. I
love these two missionaries and the way they work together to confound
Zeezrom. I loved it a lot! I found some cool points. I have also been
working on improving my prayers so I have been studying a little bit
about that as well.

Playing the piano this
week was in one word...laughable. In more ways than one. I found out a
couple days before the stake presidency was coming to visit us. That
made me a little bit nervous. Me playing was better than not having the
piano, but not by much.. I was glad I could laugh at myself and everyone
could laugh and forgive me..
